Type specimens and type localities of birds collected during the Hemprich and Ehrenberg expedition to Lebanon in 1824 Author Mlíkovský, Jiří Author Frahnert, Sylke text Zootaxa 2011 2990 1 29 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.278408 7a094bd8-4285-408f-ad78-89681bc13477 1175-5326 278408 Picus syriacus Hemprich & Ehrenberg Picus syriacus Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1833 : 37 . Now. Dendrocopos syriacus syriacus ( Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1833 ) . See Hartert (1911: 910) . Type series. Hemprich and Ehrenberg (1833: 37) did not specify the number of specimens they attributed to their Picus syriacus . They supplied only two of these woodpeckers to ZMB ( Lichtenstein 1825 , Nr. 5–6, sub Picus fuliginosus ; see also Lichtenstein 1854 : 75). These two specimens thus constitute the type series of Picus syriacus Hemprich & Ehrenberg. Both are still deposited in ZMB . Syntypes : ZMB 10417, 10418, skins, unsexed, collected on an unknown date [= 5–24 July 1824 ] in “ Libanon ” [= Bcharré, Lebanon ]. Type locality. Picus syriacus was described from “Syriae monte Libano ” ( Hemprich & Ehrenberg 1833 ), i.e. Jabal Lubnān of Syria . The type locality was given as “ Syria ” by Vaurie (1959a: 16) . Lichtenstein (1825) listed “ Syria , Bscharri” as the locality. Bcharré lays in Jabal Lubnān and can thus be understood as the restricted type locality of Picus syriacus Hemprich & Ehrenberg (see also Stresemann 1954 : 175; 1962: 388; Vaurie 1965 : 708, who erroneously placed Bcharré in Syria ). Both syntypes were collected at Bcharré during 5–24 July 1824 . Remarks. The species is now extinct at its type locality ( Tohme & Neuschwander 1974 , Ramadan-Jaradi & Ramadan-Jaradi 1999 ).
